BYU Exams

Many students choose to take online classes through Brigham Young University. Students taking exams through BYU may choose College of the Canyons as the proctoring location. Students are welcome to utilize the TLC Lab for these exams and do not have to be students registered for classes at COC. Keep in mind that when ordering exams through BYU, it will take 7-10 business days for the exam to arrive at the TLC Lab. Please keep deadlines for examination completion in mind. If time is of the essence, BYU allows for expedited shipping at the student’s expense. If the exam is sent overnight, it will arrive at the TLC Lab in two business days. Also be aware that though students may have a specified time to complete the entire class (i.e. one year), examinations have specific deadlines that do not coincide with class completion. All expired exams are returned to BYU. Finally, students must make an appointment to have their exam proctored. No exceptions. Students without an appointment will not be offered an opportunity to take an exam, and a picture identification is required. Please call 661-362-3349 to make your appointment.

"Proctoring exams for students attending outside universities will not be available from May 11th, 2012 through May 31st, 2012".

Exam Proctoring at Other Institutions

For students enrolled in a COC class who wish to take an exam at a location other than COC, prior arrangements must be made with the instructor of record. The instructor will need to verify in writing with the COC proctor that the student is able to take their exam elsewhere. It is the student’s responsibility to locate a suitable proctor (i.e. an institute of higher learning, public library, or other acceptable location). It is the student’s responsibility to provide the name, organization, title, phone, fax, and email to the COC proctor. Allow 7-10 working days for proctoring arrangements to be made.
